Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
An application or service calls the LogonUser function, passes credentials, and impersonates the user context.
-
The application or service calls the AcquireCredentialshandle function, passes a SEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY structure. The credential fields of the structure has a NULL value.
-
The application or service calls the InitializeSecurityContext function to create a security context with a peer by using the credential handle and by specifying the Negotiate security package.
-
Kerberos authentication fails in the InitializeSecurityContext function and has the STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS status.
In this scenario, the InitializeSecurityContext function does not fall back to NTLM authentication and returns the STATUS_DOWNGRADE_DETECTED status.
Cause
This issue occurs because the AcquireCredentialsHandle function does not mark the credentials as being suitable for fallback operation if the credential fields of a SEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY structure has a NULL value. Kerberos fails and has the STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS status. Therefore, the InitializeSecurityContext function does not allow a fallback operation to NTLM authentication.
